This event occurs, at a time known only by God, when Christ returns in the clouds to take believing Christians out of the world to be with Him for eternity. The rapture initiates the tribulation (see below). Although beliefs differ, the church is taken out of the world before the tribulation God promises Christians they will not know His wrath (Revelation 3:10) which is the purpose of the tribulation. The church is not mentioned in tribulation passages.

This is a seven-year period of God’s wrath upon the world to bring the final judgement before the second coming of Christ, which occurs at the end of tribulation. Although a time of terrible suffering God will allow the gospel to go forward to the world still giving unbelievers an opportunity believe.

Although opinions vary, proper interpretation of scripture should be a normal literal meaning which includes the style of literature in the original text. For instance, prophecy literature should allow symbols to be symbols, as intended by the original author, to represent actual events, without spiritualizing or discounting the intended symbolism (1). The answers to the remaining questions in the survey below are based on a normal literal interpretation of scripture. Other alternative beliefs about end times scripture exist but are not included here because of the lack of support in scripture.
